cleaning the urine of child with only tissue then putting her in bath tub

Name

Question:

I have a 4 year old girl. When she urinates I wipe off the urine from her body with toilet tissue. By doing this, will her body become pure?

My husband filled the bathtub with water and amount of water was approx. 100 litre. My daughter took a bath with that water and we did not change the water. So did the water become impure because impure part of her body touched the water? If yes, then did her body also become impure because impure water touched it? Also, this water splashed on me too; so did I also become impure?

Answer:

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

After the child urinates, if you do not wash the urine with water but only use a tissue, then the place of urine will stay impure. However, since the place of urine will get dry, the impurity will not transgress to other dry items. However, if the child is put in water, the water will become impure and anything that touches the water will also become impure. Thus, if you put the child in the bath without firstly removing the impurity, then the water in the bath will become impure and if that water touches you, you will become impure as well.

And Allah knows best.
